A NIHILIST RUSE.
Distributing Revolutionary Literature
Under a Clever Disguise.

Distributing Revolutionary Literature
Under Clever Disguise.
The Odessa CORES pendent Of the Lon
don Duly Ners writes: A case trans
pired here the other day which reveals
in a curious manner the successful ruses
adopted by the Nihilists for the spread
of their revolutionary literature. An ap-
parently halfdemented and harmless
person, young man of some twenty
five years of age and very poorly clad,
has for some time past picked up a pre-
carious livelihood as a peripatetic vendor
of almanacs, calendars, children's story
books, etc. All these articles were of
the cheap popular quality. His basket
and wallet contained also the snowy
prints of religious subjects much
affected by the poorer classes. A few
days ago he was detected in the sale of
Nihilist literature He was arrested and
his stock confscated. His character of
a poor imbecile, supported by the EVIL
dence of the police, and his story OF &C
quiring the forbidden literature at
trifiing cost from an unknown stranger,
and his general incoherence and inability
to read or write, were so evident to the
bench that he was at once discharged.
A couple of days later it was found
that the imbecile colporteur's passport
was false; and, the police discovering
that he was known TO certain citizens as
appearing on many occasions in private
circles as well-dressed, well-educated,
and hghly-informed young man who
spoke learnedly on matters of internal
policy, warrant was Immediately issued
for his re-arrest. 1t is needless to say
that he has not been found, nor is he
likely to be. The characters and dis
guises assumed by many of these young
propagandists defy the utmost vigilance
of the regular and secret police, and sue
cessfully deceive, as in this case, both
magistrates and the so-called lynx-eyed
Russian judges of instruction.

durbar and sun of our understand
ing. art thou sure of this?" THE
lord Of the earth is omniscient and
knows everything,' replied he. We'll,
to be sure, we do see things, and
know one or two things, but we are
old now. Moreover, yon tree obstructs
our view. However, thou art young; go
thou, therefore, climb the tree, watch the
cursed Muscovite's movements, and
when he is very close upon us come and
inform us. The tree is high, so that thou
shalt be enabled to see long way of"
Forthwith the man was led to the tree
and made to climb to the topmost
branches. To keep up his courage if he
grew weary of his post, a guard with
bayonets fixed was told off to remain be-
low. 1t is said the young man felt con-
siderably elevated by his masters humor,
and felt very exhilarated at first; but
three days contemplation of the beau
ties of nature, even from such com
handing position, is apt to tire one, and
so he fell. They say he got hurt and
died. No one dares to raise alarms in
Cabul now.

THE ADVENTURES OF A PICTUR
Hidden in a Chimney and Taken Through

Hidden in a Chimney and Taken Through
Several Countries.
A valuable addition has been made to
the Mary Queen of Scots Relic Exhibit
ton at Peterborough, in the celebrated
full-length oil painting of the Scottish
Queen from Blairs College. The por-
trait was formerly the property of Eliza.
beth Curle Zone of Mary's attendants at
the execution), and was bequeathed by
her in 1920 to the Seminary or Scots Col
lege at Douai, her brother being at the
time one of the professors there. At the
breaking out of the French revolution,
writes the Echo, the inmates of the col
lege were obliged to fly, and the portrait
was taken out of the frame, rolled up,
and hidden in chimney of the refectory,
the fireplace being afterward built up.
In 1914 it was taken from it's hiding
place, transferred to the English Bene-
dictine College in Paris, brought to
Scotland in 1880 by the late Bishop Patti
son, and deposited in Blair's College.
The painting, which is eight feet by four,
is recognized as one of the few authentic
portraits of Mary, and the portrait at
Windsor is supposed to be a copy. 1t
has been insured by the local committee
for $4,000, bringing up the total amount
Of insurance of the relic to $172,OOO.

Gen. Jackson,s Death Bed.


Gen. Jackson's death bed at the Her
nitage, one bright Sabbath morning in
June, 1916, is described as q scene never
to be forgotten He babe them all adieu
in the tenderest terms, and enjOined them,
old and young, white and black, to meet
him in heaven. All were in tears, and
when he had breathed his last the OUT
burst Of grief was irrepressiblc. The con-
gregation ut the little Presbyterian church
on the plantation, which the general had
built to crafty his deceased wife, the
morning service over, came hocking TO
the mansion as his eyes were closing, and
added their beWailment TO the general
sorrow.
Shortly after this mournful event
lady friend of the family encountered an
old servant III the kitchen, who was SOD
bling as though her heart would break.
ssOle missus IS gone, " she brokenly said
to the lady, sand now ole massa Is gone;
-dey's all gone, and dey was our bes frens.
And ole massa, not satisfied with teachin'
as how to live, has now teached Us how
to die. = Ben: Perley Poore's Letter.

The. yearly increasing consumption Of
temperance drinks, particularly Of aerated
waters, Is, on the whole, 8 matter for con-
graduation. It is also fact which rem
ders the more necessary some precaution
lest the greater demand should itself en-
tail certain public disadvantages, which
might, with some forethought, be avoided.
With regard to cost, for instance, recent
experience has shown that there Is In.
many quarters tendency to unjustifable
extortion in the retail sale Of these very
simple drinks. A warning Of different
kind has lately been communicated
through the daily press with reference to
the imperfect filing Of soda water bottles.
a fault Of this description is little, II at
all, less blameworthy than that to which
we have already referred. It is necessary
for the safe use of aerated waters that the
water itself should be in q due proportion
to the gas which it is intended to absorb.
If it is not, the excess Of gas may cause,
and repeatedly has caused, an explosion,
sometimes with serious consequences.
How far, in such cases of accident, the re-
suit was due to some flaw in the bottles
themselves is doubtful. London Lancet.

at / cent per acre, and increased at l.

His HearthstOn, is Never Cold.

There is man living near Danbury,
N. c., who forty-fve years ago mar
ried and determined that so
long as he lived his hearthstone
should never become cold To this de-
termination he has adhered with per-
s,stency amounting almost to supersti-
on. He has never slept from home
single night, has never tasted food
from any other board except his own.
and never ut any time had n match on
his premises. The fire has never been
perm tied to burn ont in his fireplace.
nor has he ever used gill of kerosene
oil, bought pound of candles or any
thing else for the purpose of lighting
his residence. which boasts of onl two
windows. or rather two holes cut in
the logs of which his house Is built.
about eight bv ten inches; the roof is
of boz is, and has only been replaced
three t mes during the forty-five years
He has been three times married and is
the father of fourteen children, all of
whom arc living and all marrieG-but
three. He has gre aa a t-gra grandchildren.
bit the number of his descendants we
have been unable to learn. He is still
in vigorous health and jocularly tells
his wife that he expects at her death to
marry again and raise another family.
